As Deventer’s corporate photography specialist, Sjoerd delivers clean, professional corporate portraits and LinkedIn headshots. Creative, focused, on-location or in-studio service.
I am Sjoerd Stellingwerf — an image maker from Deventer specializing in corporate photography. My work focuses on business photography and portraits for organisations: clear corporate portraits, LinkedIn headshots and employee photography that look both professional and approachable. Years of work for brands and organisations have taught me how a single image can tell a story and build trust. What sets me apart is the combination of an advertising background and a refined eye for imagery. As a photographer, illustrator and fine painter I see shape, colour and composition differently. I bring that experience deliberately to corporate shoots: every portrait receives its own atmosphere, but always retains a clean, businesslike look that matches the brand. Whether it’s a minimalist LinkedIn headshot or a series of employee photos on location, my aim is always a professional result that aligns with your communication. My approach is practical and personal. We start with a short briefing: who is the target audience, what image do you want to convey, and where will the photos be used? Together we choose the location — in my studio in Deventer or on location — and I tailor the light and setting to match the desired look. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere; I direct where needed so people appear natural and confident in front of the camera. After the session I carefully retouch the images; subtle post-processing ensures a consistent and professional final result ready for website, social media or internal communications. Clients appreciate my clear communication, creative input and reliable scheduling. If you are looking for a specialist in corporate photography who creates business portraits with attention to style and detail, I’m happy to help. I deliver images that are functional — for LinkedIn, press, annual reports or internal profiles — and visually effective at the same time. Do you need a consistent photo series for your team or a single professional profile photo? Get in touch and we’ll discuss what your organisation needs and how I can translate that visually.
